The Thomas Berrington series is set in the waning years of Moorish Spain, a period when the Christian kingdoms were steadily conquering the last Muslim territories on the Iberian Peninsula. Thomas Berrington, an English healer who has settled in Spain, uses his medical knowledge and analytical mind to investigate murders that others cannot solve.
Starting with The Red Hill (2014), the series has grown through titles like Breaker of Bones, The Sin Eater, and The Inquisitor. The historical backdrop of the Reconquista adds political tension to each mystery, as Berrington must navigate between Christian and Muslim worlds while solving his cases.
